I'm saying her attitude was similar to yours because you're taking away responsibility from black people by saying what they do is in retaliation.
And in the case of the black guy you knew who was being a racist hypocrite just because he is doing it in retaliation doesn't absolve him of responsibility.
If you call me fat and I retaliate by calling you skinny were both making prejudice remarks
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
